Brontosauři

The Czech folk and tramping music group Brontosauři was founded in 1972 by brothers Jan and František Nedvěd. It was the successor of the former band Toronto, based in the town of Jílové u Prahy. Thanks to the expressive creativity of the Nedvěd brothers, the band quickly became very popular, especially after the Porta Music Festival. Later, more musicians, each of whom were also members of the more popular band Spirituál kvintet, joined the brothers. Today, Brontosauři is a folk music legend in the Czech Republic. The band broke up in 1994 after the release of their last album Zahrádky.
